It blows my mind that this choreography can't make it to hollywood, like this is legit art...

I love that Donnie Yen has been so eager to incorporate some fresh MMA style flavors into his choreos..

Its one of the best action movies ever made (not exaggerating). This is as good as it gets.

Donnie is actually a legit mixed martial artist:
Tae Kwon Do - 6th degree black belt, that is roughly 22–23 years worth of training in just this.
Judo - Black Belt
Brazilian Jui-Jitsu - Purple, not high in rank but he really hasn’t been practicing it for too long.
Tai Chai - Life Long practice, mother is a grand master.
Wushu - Has multiple gold metals in competition.
Muay Thai - Practiced for a year or more.
Wing Chun - Practiced daily with Ip Mans son for nine months.
Kick Boxing - several months
Parkor - several months.
Olympic Wrestling - several months.

What a lot of people in the west don't know is that most HK actors grew up training martial arts. After they did the choreography and when the camera rolls, they fight for real. So it's the norm for them to get injured during filming, though not as much and hardcore as Jackie Chan. And that's how they make the fight scenes look realistic and intense. It's an unmatched standard.

"Did not know that Donnie Yen did BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu)." Well, he has done a LOT more than that, plus he has a purple belt in it. He's well versed in multiple styles of martial arts.  Aside from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he is a multiple-time world
champion in Wushu, a Judo black belt, a 6th Dan in Taekwondo, along with mastery of Muay Thai,  MMA, Wing Chun, Karate, Sanda, Hung Ga, Wrestling, Tai Chi, Boxing, Parkour, Kickboxing, Hapkido, and Jeet Kune Do. He's a DYNAMO of martial arts.

This is one of the finest martial arts scenes ever in a film.

This is the first time I've seen a martial arts movie fight where one guy is clearly winning when they're doing strikes but then the other guy just... out wrestles him. VERY cool!

This is seriously the gold standard for modern action choreography. The closest that any have come so far has been Gareth Evans and Iko Uwais in The Raid 2

This is one of my favorite fight scenes ever. Super clean choreography with a more realistic combat scene. Just spectacular.

Donnie Yen always the real deal.

Chinese fighting movies is always on another level

My whole body is aching after watching this amazing fight scene.

Donnie best fighter actor from Asia....😉😉😉

Never heard of Collin Chou?  Seraph in Matrix 2 and 3, Forbidden Kingdom, and that’s just to name a few.

Of all donnie yen films i still think flashpoint has the best fight scenes. Choreograph, camera work, stunt work, cool soundtrack are all just effin epic. The first time i watch this film when it was available on DVD i replayed all the fight scenes over and over again. Simply said this is not a movie. Its a masterpiece.

Donnie Yen commented in an interview that believes that BJJ is the most practical style among all of the martial arts and he tries to incorporate that in his movies. But this movie has it hands down his best ass-kicking moment in cinema.. You can feel the rage in the blows.

You DO know Colin Chou... Matrix? The bodyguard to the Oracle? Yup that's him

this fight is awesome, especially in better quality!
i also like his ridiculous battle vs. sammo in kill zone

When I broke down this fight for myself, I saw a VERY interesting combination of grappling techniques from at least 4 different traditional martial arts. (I've always been more of a grappler than a striker.....) The very beginning (besides traditional Kung Fu, Western boxing and kickboxing) was a lot of traditional Judo. Hip and shoulder torquing movements (turning throws using body movement and the opponent's momentum and weight against them) from a standing or kneeling position. After the initial sequence, I saw a wide variety of techniques from BJJ (close grappling and transitions from various guard positions),  classic grappling positions from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu (the classic triangle, for instance, more movements typically used in space),  and Hapkido (grapples using various improvised tools such as jackets or improvised hybrid positions).Honestly, one of my favorite fight sequences ever committed to film.
